1 Aquatic invertebrate surveys of two ponds in Greenwoods Conservancy, one on and the other off the Volney-Marcy South Right of Way Bekka S. Brodie 1 INTRODUCTION Greenwoods Conservancy, in Burlington, NY, is a 1000 acre preserve that is protected by a conservation easement through the Otsego Land Trust. The Marcy South transmission line, or Right of Way (ROW), was constructed in the mid-1980s and runs 200 miles across central New York. The New York State Power Authority (PASNY) uses Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM), which includes clear-cutting and herbicides, to reduce interference and allow access for maintenance (Fickbohm, 2001.) PASNY avoids any disturbance of woody plants that will not grow high enough to interfere with the ROW. From conservation perspective, the ROW produces many different effects, including an ecotone created by the boundary between the ROW and the adjacent forest, serving as a potential new habitat for increased biodiversity of both flora and fauna. The Biological Field Station has been involved in monitoring plant succession along the ROW (Austin, 2000, Fickbohm, 2001), has evaluated the effect of slope and aspect on that succession (Adams, 2000), surveyed the vascular plant richness in a wetland within and adjacent to the ROW (Groff, 2000) and has surveyed vertebrates along the ROW corridor (Phillips, 2000). Additional inventories of arthropods along the ROW in 1999 (Scott, 2000) and in 2000 (Brodie, 2001) indicate that despite the differences in the characteristics of the plant communities, the two sites were quite similar in diversity and richness at the family level. The purpose of this research is to survey species richness of the aquatic invertebrate community in Woods Hole, a wetland crossed by the ROW, and in Broad Meadow Pond, a wetland off the ROW. From the information that this research provides one can attempt to gain insight into how maintenance practices affect this community. METHODS Aquatic arthropods were sampled on 19 June and 19 July 2001 using a surface trap, triangle net, and surface dipper. Qualitative samples were collected from the perimeters of the two ponds along the ROW, Broad Meadow Pond and Woods Hole Pond (Figure 1). Samples were taken along six sites around the perimeter each. The arthropods were then brought back to the BFS where they were killed and preserved in 70% ethanol. Identification was at least to family, generally, following 1 New York State Power Authority Intern. Present affiliation: SUNY Oneonta Biology Dapartment.
2 Peckarsky (1990) and Merrit and Cummins (1996.) All specimens are curated at the BFS for future reference. Figure 1. Greenwoods Conservancy showing Broad Meadow Pond and Woods Hole, arthropod sampling sites. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Tables 1 and 2 provide a summary of the arthropods collected, including a taxonomic overview and quantity collected at each location. Despite the obvious differences in the characteristics of the plant communities, the two sites were quite similar in diversity and richness at the family level. Differences at the genus level were slight and without apparent consistency among sampling sites.
